Cheat Sheets for the YUI Utilities

To supplement this online documentation, the YUI development team has begun drafting some cheat sheets — inspired by the handy references published by addedbytes.com (nee ilovejackdaniels), among others — that give you a one-page dashboard of documentation for each of the library's components. When you find yourself elbow-deep in a coding problem, sometimes it's quicker to turn to these rather than firing up a browser to review documentation and examples. Moreover, reviewing the cheat sheets can help you discover hidden gems you didn't know were there. If you're wondering, for example, what the syntax is for batching a function on an element collection, the Dom Collection's cheat sheet might be enough to get you started:

Since this post was made, YUI has incremented to 0.11 and a bunch of new cheat sheets have been added. The latest zip file should always be available from this location on YDN. -EM
